Vivid Fun Run Fundraiser

The Roots School was founded last year by Amy Cojocar, whose dream is to help students satisfy all their needs at school — including developing resilience and healthy coping mechanisms, and becoming emotionally self-regulated. The Roots School needs community support for its first two years of operation before provincial funding kicks in, so a full-day fundraising event is scheduled for June 3 at Battle Creek Adventure Park. Come out and enjoy a barbecue, raffles, activities and games, a demo from Saskatchewan’s Strongest Man, and plenty of vivid, eco-friendly powders that will make a rainbow of colourful explosions during the racecourse!

A Vital Resource for Elderly Care

Senior home care agencies provide essential support and care for elderly individuals who may require assistance with daily living activities. Agencies like Just Like Family Home Care offer a wide range of services, including medication management, meal preparation, personal care, and companionship. One of the significant benefits of senior home care agencies is that they allow seniors to age in place and maintain their independence while receiving the care they need. With Just Like Family Home Care, you can trust that your loved one is in good hands.

Better Mobility, Increased Independence

Using a walker can extend a senior’s ability to maintain their independence and can help them continue to live a healthy and active lifestyle. However, sometimes this can be a hard decision to face. If you or a senior loved one are experiencing shortness of breath when walking short distances, having difficulty bearing weight on the legs, needing to rest frequently when walking, noticing trouble with balance, or having difficulty walking up a short flight of stairs, it might be time to consider a walker. Don’t wait until something drastic has happened to experience the benefits of using a walker!

This simple and affordable, personalized nutritional formula is made for you using your own SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms), which are DNA sequence variations that are unique to you. These are then used to analyze and build a nutritional formulation exclusively for you, by your unique genetic code, built into your DNA. Utrition takes the guesswork out of which vitamins and supplements to take by using your DNA, which can reveal your body’s precise nutritional requirements. Those nutritional requirements are then used to create your own precise nutritional formula.

Skills for Life

Empowering youth in sport skills, pro-social skills, and motor skills provides them with confidence in themselves and their abilities to do well in life. The confidence they build to try something new, possibly fail, try again, and succeed is a trait that will grow and blossom in their most important years of development and stay with them for a lifetime. Sportball builds confidence in children that they are capable of anything and the organization understands that everyone learns at different rates and has different abilities that should be celebrated.

Pedicures – Not Just for Looks

Are your feet ready for summer? Pedicures are the perfect way to help your feet look their best especially with sandal season now underway. It is not all about looks. Pedicures help your feet stay healthy. During a pedicure, calluses that can cause infection and pain are removed. Signs of nail disease can be detected and stopped before becoming problematic. A pedicure includes a foot and leg massage which can help relieve tension in your muscles and joints. Treat yourself to a pedicure, guilt-free, for your health and wellbeing.

Be Still…with Reiki!

Reiki is a gentle but powerful energy healing technique used for relaxation, stress reduction and balance that can promote healing on many levels. It is typically given by ‘laying on of hands’ as you lie on a massage table fully clothed. This higher frequency, positive energy flows through the hands of the practitioner into your energy field releasing ‘energy blockages’ by lifting and transforming lower frequency energies such as worry, fear, anger and anxiety. The deep relaxation experienced with Reiki can have many beneficial effects including more calm/stillness to the body & mind, better sleep, reduced stress & pain and reduction of overwhelm and anxiety.
